Sir,—Having derived much benefit from bathing in your Hot Springs, 'Waiwcra, I thi: k it is a duty that I owe to the public—especially suffering humanity— that my case should be made known. J.tfure 1 went to the Springs I suffered for more than a month the most excruciating pain from rheumatic gout, had to be lifted in and out of bed. in fact was unalde to walk without the use of two sticks It took me an hour to walk from Wakencld-street to the ' Lady IJ.men. - After getting to the Springs I bathed twice a day and drank freely of the mineral water-*, at least a pint each day, and after six days I felt quite well, free from pain, and can walk asweil as ever I did. it is now eleven days since I left andhave had no return of pain. If this should induce any person sufferiig as I was to try the hot baths I feel sure they will get cured, and if so serve the object I have in writing to you. —I am, sir. your obedient servant, Titos. Weaving*. Robert Graham, Esq.

AucklanJ, January D, 1575. Mr. Robert Graham. you lire the proprietor of the Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only <lue to you to give a short account of tny successful experience of the efficacy o( the Springs in the cure of i:hcuma!l<m. I ha'l been suffering from ifhettinatisin since the year 'C 9, contracted through cold and networking on the West Coast, and from that time vntil 1 left the Si-rings I had suffered periodically from the same. TheiM-cond bath I took brought back all the rheumatic pains 1 had ever experienced in different parrs of my body. At the end of a fortnight I was fr. e .mm all pains, witli the exception of the ankles (v,hich was always lhe worst part affected), and with the exception of my feet being very Under from so much hot bathing I am quite a new man; I have not tiic slightest pain of Uheutnatism about me, not even in the ankles. To parties visiting the: Springs I shouldadvi.se them not to feel alarmed or disappointed if they find themselves worse the first day or two: according to the geueral opinion it shews the action of the waters. Also I wou'.d recommend the drinking at least two or three glasses - of water both on entering and leaving the bath: also, sweating in the blankets, for which arcommedatinn is piovided in each bath: and to parties atfected with acute Rheumatism I think the more they use them the more speedy will be the cure. I remain, sir, Voura respectfully, C. 11. WILLOUOIIIIY Aucklaud, 10th January, 1575. Dear -Sir, In the interests of those who may be similarly afflicted, and in recognition of the btnellts I derived at your sanatorium, the Waiwera Hot Springs, I d»-sire to record the etEcacy of the baths and water in th" cure Of Dyspepsia, from wh ch I had suffered many months. 1 hanks, however, to the virtues of the mineral wat-rs, together with a free use of baths, I was relieved of the distressing symj.Ums, and have since en joyed the best of health. Yours truly, John Best. Robert Graham, Esq. Robert Graham, K.q. Dear Mr, —Having suffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendati" n of my medical adviser.
